@Vylli in the upper right corner it should say: download zip
-
@DMytro tried another browser and now I can download the zip file. Thank you for the help.
-
@taziden now I see what you mean! Yes, you are right.
-
I still can’t get the strava segments to work on my Suunto 9 Baro after the beta update. They were working fine on my wives Vertical when I tried it.
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I love this new approach. Pretty good job!
But, why is Suunto messing up the lowest backlight setting of S9 and S9B again?
I remember when we had the choice in 5% steps. Then it was changed to Low - Medium - High and Low was already quite disturbing during my night exercises (especially compared to 5% or 10% choices). Now, Low is even brighter…From now on, I will have to use the DND mode every time to overcome the blinding backlight in the darkness…
Edit: Even DND backlight feels stronger now, doesn’t it?

Link for S9 Peak Pro does not open on my laptop computer…what can I do? Thanks.

@rudi-corinna As was advised to me earlier you need to open it via your phone… it opens in the app
How on the phone? I did the update on Play store Suunto beta app, but I don’t see upgrade offer on watch or app…what next to do?
-
Seems I found it…slow download…optimistic it will work…

Wow! Widgets are much brighter, weather widget is a nice addition…

Bugs
WORKOUT PRE
Screen goes black when returning from the workout screen without launching the workout. Pressing the lower button goes back to watchface ok, it doesn’t hang the watch.WIDGET
Compass widget: Touch doesn’t work after scrolling down to options. Pressing the top button gets back to the compass screen and then touch works again.WIDGET
Weather widget air quality description cuts off abruptly when level 4 is being displayed.Opinions / requests
WEATHER WIDGET
This is awesome and very useful. However, it would be great if there was a really short approximation of the weather for the next 3 days, and a UV index apart from AQI.HAPTICS
Loud vibrations outside of workout mode are sadly still a thing (it should be possible to adjust low / high in settings, ideally separately for workout and outside of workout).In general
This beta feels, looks and works way better than the day-1 stable version. It shouldn’t take that long to polish a firmware to a release state. Certain bugs, ie. related to very poor performance when switching screens during workout or watch returning to 1st screen when leaving the pause should have been addressed quicker. As I’ve said before - new features are awesome, but can wait. What can’t wait is what is being advertised as a feature on day-1.
Having said that - the performance and snappiness feels even better in workout mode then outside of it with this beta. This is a very welcome change and is good to see that the workout actually starts when pressing the middle button and not after a few second delay. This is impressive even considering two S+ apps and bunch of data heavy screens and route loaded. Well done!
Widgets look and behave way more like a finished product than a proof of concept. Adding contextual settings at the bottom of some widgets is good design too!
It’s cool to see that rise to wake no longer has to bleed my eyes. I’d love to see low / mid / high vibration setting too. I think that good haptics are important and a matter of preference just like backlight brightness.
Oh, and finally, pre-workout screen remembering previous settings. Lack of it was insanity inducing.
-
I wonder the bug “watch freezes while saving activity” is fixed in this beta… not sure if I want to install it…
-
Suunto 9 Peak Pro - Please bring back the rasise to wake only in the workouts
-
@jthomi I realize this is a different watch but the Vertical updated with today’s new firmware saved a two hour activity the fastest that I’ve seen yet.
-
I have installed the Beta on my S9B (Spain)
On my S9B the guides screen always appears in dark mode (intervals and guides from the suunto app) Additionally, the “target” text, icons, and lap counter have disappeared from the Guides screen.
It happens to someone else?
-
I updated yesterday to the available beta and this morning it offers me a new one S9P v. 2.26.8.8934, is that ok?
hmmm the morning barley coffee almost always solves the hitch: if you use the update link again it offers the update even if it is already up to date, so I suppose it’s the same version sorry!
-
@gi0vanni iOS ?

-
@Igor-Martić yes you need premium for the app to show up.
